Anglo-American Money Owners Organized World War II

Hjalmar Schacht (left), Hitlers finance minister, with his close friend Montagu Norman, Governor of the Ban

of England from 1920 to 1944. According to documents reveled by the Bank of England in 2012, he

Czechoslovak gold was held in London in a sub-account in the name of the Bank for International

Settlements, the Basel-based bank for central banks. When the Nazis marched into Prague in March 1939

they immediately sent armed soldiers to the offices of the National Bank. The Czech directors were ordered,

on pain of death, to send two transfer requests. The first instructed the BIS to transfer 23.1 metric tons ofgold from the Czechoslovak BIS account, held at the Bank of England, to the Reichsbank BIS account, also

held at Threadneedle Street. The second order instructed the Bank of England to transfer almost 27 metric

tons of gold held in the National Bank of Czechoslovakias own name to the BISs gold account at the Bank

England.

The war was not unleashed by frenzied Fuhrer who happened to be ruling Germany at the time. WWII is a project

created by world oligarchy or Anglo-American money owners. Using such instruments as the US Federal Reserve

System and the Bank of England they started to prepare for the next world conflict of global scale right after WWI. T

USSR was the target.

The Dawes and Young Plans, the creation of Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the Germanys suspension ofreparations payments it had to pay according to Paris Peace Treaty and the acquiescence of Russias former allies

this decision, large-scale foreign investments into the economy of Third Reich, the militarization of German economy

and the breaches of Paris Treaty provisions they all were important milestones on the way of preparing the war.

There were key figures behind the plot: the Rockefellers, the Morgans, Lord Montagu Norman (the Governor of the

Bank of England), Hjalmar Schacht (President of the Reichsbank and Minister of Economics in the Hitlers

government).The strategic plan of Rockefellers and Morgans was to subjugate Europe economically, saturate

Germany with foreign investments and credits and make it deliver a crushing blow against the Soviet Russia so that

would be returned into the world capitalist system as a colony.

Montagu Norman (1871 - 1950) played an important role of go-between to keep up a dialogue between American

financial circles and Germanys business leaders. Hjalmar Schacht organized the revival of Germanys defense sec

of economy. The operation conducted by money owners was covered up by such politicians as Franklin Roosevelt

Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill. In Germany the plans were carried out by Hitler and Hjalmar Schacht.

Some historians say Hjalmar Schacht played a more important role than Hitler. Simply Schacht kept away from

spotlight.

The Dawes Plan was an attempt following World War I for the Triple Entente to compromise and collect war

reparations debt from Germany. The Dawes Plan (as proposed by the Dawes Committee, chaired by Charles G.Dawes) was an attempt in 1924 to solve the reparations problem, which had bedeviled international politics following

World War I and the Treaty of Versailles (France was reluctant to accept it got over 50% of reparations). In 1924-192

Germany got $2, 5 billion from the United States and $ 1, 5 billion from Great Britain, according to Dawes Plan. In

todays prices the sum is huge, it is equal to $1 trillion of US dollars. Hjalmar Schacht played an active role in the

implementation of Dawes Plan. In 1929 he summed up the results, saying that in 5 years Germany got more foreign

loans that the United States in the 40 years preceding WWI. As a result, in 1929 Germany became the worlds seco

largest industrial nation leaving Great Britain behind.

In the 1930s the process of feeding Germany with investments and credits continued. The Young Plan was a progra

for settling German reparations debts after World War I written in 1929 and formally adopted in 1930. It was

presented by the committee headed (192930) by American industrialist Owen D. Young, creator and ex-firstchairman of Radio Corporation of America (RCA), who, at the time, concurrently served at board of trustees of

Rockefeller Foundation, and also had been one of representatives involved in previous war reparations restructuring

arrangement Dawes Plan of 1924. According to the plan, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) was created

1930 to make Germany pay reparations to victors. In reality the money flows went in quite a different direction - from

the United States and Great Britain to Germany. The majority of strategically important German companies belonge

to American capital or were partly under its control. Some of them belonged to British investors. German oil refinery

and coal liquefaction sectors of economy belonged to Standard Oil (the Rockefellers). FarbenindustrieAG chemical

industry major wasmoved under the control of the Morgan Group. 40% of telephone network and 30% of Focke Wul

shares belonged to American ITT. Radio and AEG, Siemens, Osram electrical industry majors moved under the

control of American General Electric. ITT and General Electric were part of the Morgans empire. At least 100% of th

Volkswagen shares belonged to American Ford. By the time Hitler came to power the US financial capital practically

controlled all strategically important sectors of German industry: oil refining, synthetic fuel production, chemistry, car

building, aviation, electrical engineering, radio industry, and a large part of machine-building (totally 278 companies)

The leading German banks - Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Donat Bank and some others - were under US contro

***

On January 30, 1933 Hitler was named the Chancellor of Germany. Before that his candidacy had been thoroughly

studied by American bankers. HjalmarSchacht went to the United States in the autumn of 1930 to discuss the

nomination with American colleagues. The Hitlers appointment was finally approved at a secret meeting of financier

in the United States. He spent the whole 1932 trying to convince the German bankers that Hitler was the right persofor the position. He achieved the goal. In mid-November 1932 17 German largest bankers and industrialists sent a

letter to President Hindenburg expressing their demand to make Hitler the Chancellor of Germany. The last working

meeting of German financiers before the election was held on January 4, 1933 in Klnat the home of banker Kurt vo

Schrder. After that the National Socialist Party came to power. As a result, the financial and economic ties of

Germany with Anglo-Saxons elevated to a higher level.

Hitler immediately made an announcement that he refused to pay postwar reparations. It put into doubt the ability of

England and France to pay off WWI debts to the United States. Washington did not object to the Hitlers

announcement. In May 1933 Hjalmar Schacht paid another visit to the United States. There he met with President

Franklin Roosevelt and big bankers to reach a $1 billion credit deal.In June the same year Hjalmar Schacht visited

London to hold talks with Montagu Norman. It all went down smoothly. The British agreed to grant a $2 billion loan.

The British offered no objections related to the Germanys decision to suspend debt payments.

Some historians say the American and British bankers were pliant because by 1932 the Soviet Union had fulfilled th

5-year economic development plan to make it achieve new heights as an industrial power. A few thousand enterprise

were built, especially in the sector of heavy industry. The dependence of USSR on import of engineering production

has greatly dwindled. The chances to strangle the Soviet Union economically were practically reduced to zero. They

decided to rely on war and launched the runaway militarization of Germany.

It was easy for Germany to get American credits. By and large, Hitler came to power in his country at the same time

as Franklin Roosevelt took office in the United States. The very same bankers who supported Hitler in 1931

supported Roosevelt at the presidential election. The newly elect President could not but endorse large credits to

Germany. By the way, many noticed that there was a big similarity between the Roosevelts New Deal Policy and

the economic policy of the German Third Reich. No wonder. The very same people worked out and consulted the

both governments at the time. They mainly represented US financial circles.

The Roosevelts New Deal soon started to stumble on the way. In 1937 America plunged into the quagmire of

economic crisis. In 1939 the US economy operated at 33% of its industrial capacity (it was 19% in the heat of the

1929-1933 crisis).

Rexford G. Tugwell, an economist who became part of Franklin Roosevelts first Brain, a group of Columbia

University academics who helped develop policy recommendations leading up to Roosevelts New Deal,wrote that i

1939 the government failed to reach any success.There was an open seatill the day Hitler invaded Poland.Only the

mighty wind of war could dissipate the fog. Any other measures Roosevelt could take were doomed to failure. [1] On

the world war could save the US capitalism. In 1939 the money owners used all leverage at their disposal to put

pressure of Hitler and make him unleash a big war in the east.

The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) played an important role during the Second World War. It was created a

an outpost of American interests in Europe and a link between Anglo-American and German businesses, a kind of

offshore zone for cosmopolitan capital providing a shelter from political processes, wars, sanctions and other things

The Bank was created as a public commercial entity, its immunity from government interference and such things as

taxes collection was guaranteed by international agreement signed in the Hague in 1930.

The bankers of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, who were close to the Morgans, Montagu Norman, the Governo

of the Bank of England, German financiers: Hjalmar Schacht (President of the Reichsbank and Minister of Economic

in the Hitlers government), Walther Funk (who later replaced Hjalmar Schacht as President of the Reichsbank) and

EmilPuhl all of them played an important role in the efforts to establish the Bank. The central banks of Great Britai

France, Italy, Germany, Belgium and some private banks were among the founders. The Federal Bank of New York

did its best to establish the BIS, but it was not listed as a founder. The US was represented by the private First

National Bank of New York, J.P. Morgan and Company, the First National Bank of Chicago all parts of the Morganempire. Japan was also represented by private banks. In 1931-1932 19 European central banks joined the Bank of

International Settlements. Gates W. McGarrah, a banker of Rockefeller s clan, was the first BIS chairman of the

board. He was replaced by Leon Fraser, who represented the clan of Morgans. US citizen Thomas H. McKittrick wa

President of the Bankduring the war years.

A lot has already been written about the BIS activities serving the interests of Third Reich. The Bank was involved in

deals with different countries, including those Germany was at war with. Ever since Pearl Harbor the Bank of

International Settlements has been a correspondent bank for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It was under

Nazi control during the war years, no matter American Thomas Huntington McKittrick was the Banks President.

Soldiers were dying on the battlefields while the leadership of BIS held meetings in Basel with the bankers of


4/5

Germany, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States. There, in the Swiss offshore zone, it was all

peaceful, the representatives of belligerents quietly worked in the atmosphere of mutual understanding.

Switzerland became the place where gold seized by Germany in different corners of Europe was transported to for

storage. In the March of 1938, when Hitler captured Vienna, part of Austrian gold was transferred to BIS vaults. The

same thing happened with the gold of Czech National Bank (48 million USD). As the war started, the flows of gold

poured into the Bank of International Settlements. Germany got it from concentration camps and as a result of

plundering the wealth of occupied countries (including whatever belonged to civilians: jewels, gold crowns, cigarette

cases, utensils). It was called the Nazi Gold. The metal was processed into ingots to be stored in the Bank ofInternational Settlements, Switzerland, or outside Europe. Charles Higham in his Trading With The Enemy: An

Expose of The Nazi-American Money Plot 1933-1949wrote that during the war Nazi transferred $378 million into the

accounts of Bank of International Settlements.

A few words about the Czech gold. The details surfaced when after the Bank of Englands archives were declassifie

in 2012. [2] In the March of 1939 Germany captured Prague. Nazi demanded $48 million of national gold reserves.

They were told that the sum had already been transferred to the Bank of International Settlements. Later it became

known that the gold was transferred from Basel to the vaults of Bank of England. Upon the command from Berlin the

gold was transferred to the ReichsbankBIS account. Then the Bank of England was involved in transactions done

upon the orders of Reichsbank given to the Bank of International settlements. The commands were retransmitted to

London. There was collusion between German Reichsbank, the Bank of International Settlements and the Bank ofEngland. In 1939 a scandal broke out in Great Britain because the Bank of England executed the transactions with

Czech gold upon the commands coming from Berlin and Basel, not the Czech government. For instance, in the June

of 1939, three months before the war between Great Britain and Germany started, the Bank of England helped

Germans to get into their accounts the amount of gold equal to 440 thousand pounds sterling and transfer some gol

to New York (Germany was sure that in case of German intervention into Poland the United States would not declar

war).

The illegal transactions with Czech gold were implemented with tacit approval of the government of Great Britain

which was aware of what was going on. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir John

Simon and other top officials did their best to hide the truth, including outright lies (the gold was returned to the lawfu

owner or had never been transferred to Reichsbank). The recently declassified materials of Bank of England revealthe truth and show that the government officials lied to cover up themselves and the activities of the Bank of Englan

and the Bank of International Settlements. It was easy to coordinate the joint criminal activities because Montagu

Norman, the head of Bank of England, served as the chairman of the board of Bank of International Settlements. He

never made secret of his sympathy for fascists.

The Bretton Woods Conference, formally known as the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, was the

gathering of 730 delegates from all 44 allied nations at the Mount Washington Hotel situated in Bretton Woods, New

Hampshire, the United States, to regulate the international monetary and financial order after the conclusion of Worl

War II. The conference was held from 1 to 22 July 1944. All of a sudden the issue of the Bank of International

Settlements hit the agenda. It was reported that the bank collaborated with fascist Germany. Leaving many details

aside, Id only mention that with great difficulty (some US delegates opposed the motion) the delegates reached anagreement to close the BIS. The decision of international conference has never been enacted. All the discreditable

information related to the BIS wartime activities was classified. Today it helps to falsify the history of the Second Wo

War.

Finally, a few words about Hjalmar Schacht (1877-1970) who served as President of the Reichsbank and Minister of

Economics in the fascist Germanys government. He was a key figure controlling the economic machine of Third

Reich, an extraordinary and plenipotentiaryambassador representing Anglo-American capital in Germany. In 1945

Schacht was tried at Nuremberg to be acquitted on October 1, 1946. He got away with murder. The same way it

happened to Hitler. For some unexplained reasons he was not in the 1945 leading wartime criminals list. More to it,

Schacht returned to his profession like if nothing happened and founded Schacht GmbH in Dsseldorf. This detail

may go unnoticed, though it serves as another testimony to the fact that Anglo-American money owners and their

plenipotentiary representatives in Germany prepared and, to some extent, influenced the outcome of the Second

World War. The money owners want to rewrite the history of the war and change its results.
